a Biting Jobby

I'm glad this was on the outside of the kitchen window and I was inside
 I've named it a Biting Jobby because :-
1 - I went on the Dipterists Forum and they want £9 to join  
2 - the British Entomological and Natural History Society want £20
So I can call it what I want for free ! and look at the "stabber" a proper hypodermic  
2. If any of them read this and smugly think they're clever for knowing the Latin name, spare a thought for all the "poor" folk that are pleased to share their time and photo's for free ! but send Teddy 10 guineas or it's Kapok Voodoo time !
to all the rest just thought I'd share cheers all  Danny

  4. I think that Biting Jobby is probably a better name for it, common names usually are. Anyway it gives me the creeps whatever it's called.
